New Releases Week of February 17th 2026

Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the Fire Horse which means this can be a very chaotic and intense year. Horse year has a lot of energy and to tame it down a notch I've been told to neutralize the choas by wearing earth tones; browns, greens, neutrals. 😮 Has anyone else heard this?

Back to today's post. I'm really having a hard time finding items worthy to post about from Lululemon's drop. This is the second week in a row where I am really struggling!

Steady State Superloft Jogger Coconut Ivory

Oversized Cocoon Rain Coat Walnut Crunch

Steady State OS Pullover Stripe True Navy

New From Athleta

Stellar Trench Slate

Always Ready Jumpsuit Black

Move With East Off The Shoulder Top Black

(This looks so comfy.)

Seasoft Full Zip Zephyr

(Not sure if I missed this, but I think it's new. Would be interested to try this on.)

Vuori Halo Modern Full Zip Hoodie $78

(Not new, but I do love this hoodie and it's on sale!)

Okay story time. I have been waiting for this suede jacket to be released on Banana Republic for a little while, and I thought what are the chances this is a men's leather jacket?? So I went to look and YES IT IS a men's jacket. This jacket is also shown in a video and the suede just looks so soft.

I originally thought it was the women's trucker jacket, but the cut is different. The men's drapes like it's a shirt rather than a jacket.

Relaxed Suede Trucker Jacket Tan

The men's version is longer in length and the sleeves are going to be too long. I might try it anyway just for the heck of it.

Did You Know There Are Two Different Ugg Companies? Review - UGG Lowmel

So I was shocked when I learned a couple of months ago that there are actually two UGG brands. The original UGG since 1974 is the original Australian brand that are made from sheepskin. The other is an American company with the big G uses synthetic fabric and are made in China/Vietnam. Here are the two different logos. The one the left with the big G in the middle is the company that's made in China/Vietnam. The one on the right is the original UGG since 1974. Each pair is made in Australia! I had no idea and feel so duped. I didn't learn this until after I bought the Lowmel's which are very popular at the moment. But I will order a pair from UGG since 1974 so I can support the original brand. Plus I really want to experience the real thing and I will report back my findings. 😅 That said, I still actually really like the Lowmels. UGG Lowmel Sand Size Kids 4 I typically wear size 5.5 and I decided to try the kids size 4 which actually fit well, if just a smidge large...

First Impressions! On Cloudmonster Void

Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more! For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void. On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5 (Currently on sale for 20% off - $135) I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe. This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is...

Review! Coach Soft Empire Carryall 40 Merlot

I am super excited about this review! This has been the most anticipated Coach bag since The Rogue came out. At least for me. When I first saw this bag on the purseblog , my eyes widened and I was immediately obsessed. The Soft Empire Carryall comes in four sizes. Size 48 is ridiculously big, I cannot pull it off, but the 40? Perfect. Size 35 and 26 just doesn't give off the same wow factor. This bag is meant to be a statement piece and head turner. Kudos to Stewart Vevers for creating another hit that everyone will be obsessing over for a long time. I hear that more colors will be released soon, and I am hoping the distressed lived-in version will not be exclusive to size 48. In case it doesn't happen, I'll be using my Empire 40 as much as I can to give it a distressed look myself. For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and please check out my video to see what fits! Coach Empire 40 Merlot This bag is huge, it's definitely the biggest bag in my collection. ...
